gluten free AND corn free
posted by Grace25 9 months ago

I am intolerant to gluten, but am even more intolerant to corn. Corn is in everything and all of it bothers me. Gluten free recipes/mixes, vitamins, etc. are always so assuring that they are gluten free, but they replace the gluten with CORN most of the time. How can a person avoid the corn and the gluten at the same time? I do eat organic brown rice, but not much of that now that arsenic is supposedly a threat. I should only eat organic fruits and veggies due to the pesticides/preservatives. I don't eat any animal that has been fed corn and cannot afford to find and buy 100% grass fed meat or poultry. I do eat salmon and sardines from certain places. If there is anything made with corn in the air I start to cough and cannot stop until I leave the area. That includes fragrances, fertilizers, etc. My life seems so limited now.

I'm also allergic to corn and yes it is in everything. Are you sure you react to what the animal has eaten? The reason I ask is that during butchering and processing, the meats are often washed with a corn-derived solution to disinfect it. I react to that but not to what the animal has eaten. Only the most allergic seem to have to be concerned with what the animal has eaten. You may or may not fall into that category. Anyway, here are some links to help you out. Here's a list of ingredients where corn can hide. Since corn is cheap and abundant, I have found it's safest to assume these things are derived from corm unless research with the company proves otherwise. http://www.cornallergens.com/list/corn-allergen-list.php And here is the list of safe brands that have been researched. Companies can change sources or processing procedures at any time, so this is just a guideline. http://corn-freefoods.blogspot.com/ The Delphi forum is the best place to go for the most up to date info on what is safe and what isn't. Also there are more sensitive folks there than on the Facebook group, but the Facebook group still has some sensitive folks and it's a very active group. There are multiple allergies with some of the members on both Delphi and Facebook so you won't be alone in needing to avoid gluten and corn. :-) http://forums.delphiforums.com/avoidingcorn/start https://www.facebook.com/groups/cornallergy/ Hope that helps! -scatteredeverywhere http://scatteredeverywhere.wordpress.com/
